"Bob Mosier: You have an 8-year-old or 9-year-old little girl who's looking at you smiling, ok, realizing that you're going to, uh, in just a few moments possibly, probably engage in a sexual act that they're gonna get money for, and they're smiling about it. I mean I see a smile like that on my kids' face when they're find out that they're gonna go to Disney World or something like that." [1]Jillium 06:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

"Stine represents the only subject who did not recount an abuse termination narrative. The sexual abuse did stop, but only when the perpetrator died. She said she did not experience the abuse as traumatic at the time. Stine thought of the perpetrator, a close friend of the family, as the only caring person in her life. The time spent with the perpetrator was in many ways a relief from the life she lived, having a father she described as an alcoholic and a psychopath. Visiting the perpetrator was something safe compared with her home. Threats, as well as sexual abuse, were part of Stine's everyday life when growing up: “He threatened me afterwards. To put it this way, that was very normal for me there and then.”

She understood what she had experienced only after the abuse had stopped. The psychological reactions soon followed:

A while after he died I became aware of what had happened, before I was 15 years old. I was in my room watching Home and Away on TV. I saw something about sexual abuse which I associated with myself.

Feelings of guilty surfaced when she learned about social norms regarding incest:

I was 15 years and I went to high school. We had a class in sex education. They mentioned abuse and alcoholism. … I started to think about what he had said about the crow and the eggs, and that it was wrong. And as you grow up and learn what is normal to do with a member of the opposite sex, then you know it is wrong.

In Stine's case sexual abuse was for a long period of time an established part of her life. She experienced the abuse as something that was normal, and the perpetrator served the role as caregiver. It is our impression that she internalized the perpetrator's understanding of the abuse as acceptable, and that she was not in possession of a concept of what the abuse actually was."

My own position is indifferent. It describes our contention perfectly, but the reference to threats may be distracting. The Admins 01:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
